Have you ever thought about where stuff comes from and where it ends up?
In this short documentary by Annie Leonard, she gives you the insight into how the process goes and how we could improve it.

How to prevent SQL Injection
From Fat Agnus, 2 months ago,
0 comments
Recently, I did a code review on web application that a colleague had developed, and to my horror I discovered that is was wide open to this sort of attack. I might be a bit naive, but I thought that every professional developer knew about this sort of attack – I guess not. Luckily for [...]

How to view you constraints in MsSql
From Fat Agnus, 6 months ago,
0 comments
I tend to forget this little trick, since I don’t use it very often. Anyway, if you want to see the constraints that you have added to a table, then you should open up your SQL Query Analyzer and run the following command
EXEC sp_help <tablename>

Using Json with the SmartDispatcherController in MonoRail
From Fat Agnus, 7 months ago,
0 comments
In a previous article I gave an example of how powerfull the SmartDispatcherController can be, but you can do a lot more with it. You can actually map your Json objects to your objects in the C# code, when you parse it to one of your actions.

The SmartDispatcherController in MonoRail will make your life easier
From Fat Agnus, 7 months ago,
0 comments
It has been awhile since I last wrote about MonoRail due to a lot of work at my job, but I will try to make up for that with this article and hopefully a few more.
The SmartDispatcherController in MonoRail is one of the things that I really like in the framework, it really increases the [...]

E-Commerce User Experience by Jakob Nielsen
From Fat Agnus, 7 months ago,
0 comments
For a couple of years I worked for a software company that sold e-commerce solutions, so many of the things that are presented in this book by Jakob Nielsen is something that I learned through that job. Despite many of the things that I learned, I discovered that there were new things to learn about [...]

Sources of Power: How people make decisions by Gary Klein
From Fat Agnus, 8 months ago,
0 comments
I more or less pick this book because Steven Kruger recommended it in his own book “Don’t make me think” (a book about usability).
Gary Klein’s study shows us that traditional decision making models that are tested under laboratory conditions aren’t working because they are too controlled.
Decision making is traditionally thought of as that you [...]

Unfortunately, there is not a function in .NET that will do this for you, so here is an example on how you could do it :)

Usability and Web design patterns
From Fat Agnus, 8 months ago,
0 comments
How often have you found yourself in a situation where you have been troubled about the design of a function?
Personally, I would say, frequently. You can never be to sure if something will work and usability for me is one of the most important things.
As fare as I know, there aren’t very many software firms [...]

Wow - a response from Telerik
From Fat Agnus, 8 months ago,
0 comments
Apparently Telerik read my article about me not liking their product so much and they toke the time to write to me, because they wanted to know more – I’m really impressed by that sort of commitment, even though I don’t like their products (you could learn something from this ComponentArt ;)).
In the article [...]

Javascript frameworks vs. buying Ajax controls for .NET
From Fat Agnus, 8 months ago,
0 comments
If you have been a .NET developer for a while then you have probably heard about companies like Telerik and ComponentArt. Both of the companies sell .NET controls that seemingly make it easy to get Ajax functionality implemented into your applications.
I have had the “pleasure” of working with controls from both of the companies and [...]
